Hockey Devils’ Offense Falters Despite Allen’s Heroics in Loss to Golden Knights by Joel Rodriguez February 7, 2025 Despite Jake Allen’s solid performance, recording 37 saves, the Golden Knights beat the Devils, 3-1, on Thursday night at the Prudential Center – Image Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images NEWARK, NJ — In a challenging matchup at the Prudential Center on Thursday night, the New Jersey Devils fell to the Vegas Golden Knights by a final score of 3-1. Goaltender Jake Allen delivered an exceptional performance, recording 37 saves on 40 shots, yet the Devils’ offense struggled to find its rhythm. The Golden Knights’ offensive pressure was evident throughout the game, as they outshot the Devils, 40-15. Vegas secured goals from Nicolas Roy, Shea Theodore, and Jack Eichel, who continued his impressive streak with his eighth goal in nine games. The Devils’ sole response came late in the third period when Ondrej Palat netted a power-play goal, but a subsequent potential goal was disallowed upon video review. This game highlighted a recurring issue for the Devils: difficulty maintaining offensive pressure in the opponent’s zone. Despite their talent, the team managed 15 shots on goal, underscoring the need for a more aggressive approach in the offensive zone. Enhancing puck possession and creating high-danger scoring opportunities are areas requiring immediate attention. The Devils’ power play has been a strength this season, boasting a 30.9% success rate, the highest in the NHL. However, their overall offensive zone time percentage with the man advantage stands at 61.1%, ranking sixth in the league. This suggests there is room for improvement in sustaining pressure and generating quality chances during power plays. Individually, players like Jesper Bratt have been standout performers. Bratt ranks among the NHL leaders in high-danger shots on goal and midrange goals, reflecting his ability to create and capitalize on scoring opportunities.

By increasing their aggressiveness around the opponent’s blue line and maintaining puck control, the Devils can enhance their scoring opportunities and alleviate some of the pressure on their goaltending. As the season progresses, addressing these offensive challenges will be crucial for the Devils to improve their standings and capitalize on the strong performances from key players like Allen and Bratt.
